Overview

Gain key business skills or sharpen those you've already developed in the workplace. This flexible program is often pursued by mature working students who want to upgrade their education and skills to prepare for advancement in their careers.

You’ll choose from Commerce and Business Administration courses in your field of interest, such as accounting, finance, economics, management, business law, computing studies and information systems, and or/marketing.

Get valuable work experience through the Business Internship program  

In the Business Internship Program, you’ll apply the theory and knowledge you’ve learned in class into a real-world business setting. During your unpaid part-time internship, you’ll be assigned tasks and projects that junior management, marketing, business, administrative and/or sales employees complete in the modern workplace. 

To be accepted into the internship program, you must contact the Career Centre early in your studies at Douglas College. 

Further education

Upon completion of specific courses, you can transfer your credits into the Diploma in Commerce and Business Administration program or any Bachelor of Business Administration program at Douglas.
